Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location and amount of dwellings is suitable, having special regard to the desirability of preserving the nearby listed buildings, or their settings or any features of special architectural or historic interest which they possess
What decided it
The absence of substantive design details at the permission in principle stage meant the Inspector could not conclude that development could not preserve the settings and significance of the listed buildings, and therefore the proposal could accord in principle with section 66(1) of the Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act 1990 and policy LP34.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP34
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
